Publisher's summary

It’s been nine months since widowed mom Bella Jordan and her young son, Max, moved to Lily Dale, the quirky, close-knit New York community populated by people who can speak to the dead...if one believes in that kind of thing. Now she counts Valley View, the guesthouse she runs, as home and her psychic medium neighbors as friends - even haughty British Pandora, who used to own Valley View before her difficult divorce. So when Pandora sweeps in, requesting an urgent tête-à-tête, Bella expects it to be another complaint about book club. It isn’t. Pandora airily reveals her elderly auntie Eudora is taking a last-minute cruise from London to New York with her gentleman friend Nigel - and minutes later Bella is bemused to find she’s agreed to host them at Valley View free of charge. Bella has enough on her plate: her son, Max, their two kitties, a budding relationship with local vet Drew...not to mention this month’s book-club pick to read. But when she begins to have suspicions about one of her new guests, she’s determined to uncover the truth for Pandora’s sake - even if it kills her first.

Great Listen, Expertly Told

Listened to this book on a family road trip, The story was great and the narration delightful and engaging. I highly recommend Wendi Straub as an author and Anna Caputo as a very enjoyable narrator.

Great read!

First of all, I love Wendy Corsi Staub. Her books are thrilling! I loved the clever literary innuendos that were sprinkled throughout the book. Also, I loved the cats! They play such an important role in this series. And, of course, the storyline was wonderful! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great mystery!

Engaging Story, poor performance

I am hooked on Wendy’s books. Her Lily Dale series is wonderful. I love the characters and the storylines. The story in this book is well developed with wonderful twists and turns along the way. I wish there was consistency in who reads the series. This reader sounded like a child and her voice wasn’t pleasing either.

Narrator

I did not like the narrator. I almost stopped listening but I had paid for it so finished it.
